Painting

Inspired by artist Jacob Lawrence, human rights and the UN Sustainable Goals, students will inquiry and map how humans share finite resources and how does power affects communities relationships. They will choose a topic that represents power and makes a painting. They will apply the skills of painting and drawing using a grid system to scale an image.

Activities: Brainstorming, discuss about the human rights importance. What is political painting? Research on the internet, painting workshop, gallery walk

The goal of this lesson is to empower students to analyze art history through masterpieces from different points of view to challenge stereotypes and re-write history from a contemporary context while developing painting and drawing skills.
